Can pre-built coils be good?

Which RDA?
Maybe you could take it (the RDA) into the store and see if a coil fits.
Cheers

If you know the coils fit then that is a great deal.
Although as it is only 0.5Ohm's, be sure to run it at 10-15W or so, or you may risk burning the cotton in your coils.
Have fun vaping!

The RBA coils the shop made are most likely of a worse quality mind.
So keep your wattage down to something like 15W for the 0.5 coils.
But other than that they should be great!
And the good thing is, if you burn out the cotton you might even be able to replace the cotton again!

I can only run those coils at 10-15W? I'm used to running my vape at 80-100W my box goes up to 220W but I never go above 120W
Does this mean I'll have to buy wire and make my own then?
Although currently I'm using a tank and store-bought coils (each thing has 4 coils inside one) , I don't really know much about RDAs, will I be able to run at a lower wattage with more power?
Appreciate all the help

As far as I know Kangertech only makes coils to fit their tanks, such as these:
$8.38 Authentic KangerTech SUBTANK SSOCC Coil Head (5-Pack) - 0.5ohm / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
If your store is selling these for $5 for 20, they are most likely not authentic coils.
For an RDA you would want something like these:
$6.11 Kanthal A1 Pre-coiled Wire for RBA Atomizers (100-Pack) - 24 AWG / 0.5ohm / 0.5mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
That was confusing me as well when I first read this. A Tsunami 24 does not take Kanger factory coils, and I've never heard (so it's not impossible) of Kanger branded loose coils for use in an RDA/RTA before.
@Raymundo Domango you better check just what it is they're selling. 20 Kanger coils for $5 is no bargain if you don't have (or want to get) a Kanger tank.
Here lies the problem with calling replacement / replaceable heads, 'coils'.
I took the OP as meaning bare wire coils to be used in RBA applications needing to be mounted in rba base pulsed & adjusted to glow evenly then wicked before use.
Sure, ready made bare wire coils can be just as good sometimes better depending on experience/ skill level than self wrapped coils.
They vape the same as any other bare wire coil if they fit into your deck.
They come in all sorts of diameters number of wraps wire gauges & types & of course resistances.
Some come in all sorts of fancy types.

Oh sorry yea you guys were right I read it as RDA but they are RTA coils.
Would kanthal 24gauge wire suffice?
It shows they sell packages of 3 Organic cotton pads and 10feet of kanthal 24AWG wire for $5.99, would that be good?

That would be good to start but you can get much better deals ordering supplies online. That is kind of expensive.
Where are you located? you can order 100 ft of Kanthal or SS for $5 with free shipping from Temco, and Muji or Koh Gen Do Japanese cotton from Amazon with a bag of ~100 pads for ~$10. Both work great.
If you want to buy the other stuff from the store for starting out it's fine, but for stocking up you might want to look at those things online. Good luck!

Thanks everyone ill have to do that, the prices did seem a bit expensive but I'm pretty anxious to get started. In the future I'm sure ill buy online
I have heard SS is really good but nowhere near me sells it

The great thing about SS is you can use it in power/wattage mode or temp control, so it really is the most useful wire you can get. It's as easy to build with as Kanthal. Temco has SS as well at the same prices.
I almost wonder can you buy wire at a hardware store or something for a better price? I would buy online but I want to get started building now just for practice and buy online later when I need more
Maybe if it's a specialty hardware store you'll get lucky, but no idea on the price. As it's not a big investment, get the Kanthal and cotton to start right away, and order the other stuff for next week.
they can be awesome, especially when they are made for a specific atty and only that atty can use them
